I'm just getting started on "Backstage Murder" Shelley Freydont. It's a cozy.

[Cait]

I just finished Last Night in Twisted River A Novel by John Irving, who continues to amaze me. I gave this book 5 stars and off it went onto my favorites list. And is it wrong that I think Irving is... um, sexy??? I've decided that 2010 will be my "Year of Irving and Dickens".

Right now I'm reading The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, and will start The Cider House Rules by Irving tonight.

I like that! I may join you on it, Cait!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Cait, that is great news. I have LSiTR, and it will be my first Irving. (I have two others, but am looking forward to this one right now!)

[C.]

I've just started Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner and am about halfway through City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished The Colour of Heaven - James Runcie. Now I am gonna read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

[Viki]

I am about halfway through Suite Francaise and am somewhat disappointed....it has gotten such good reviews on GR.....I wanted it to be a "could not put it down" book but instead I did put it down long enough to read Heart Shaped Box (very enjoyable).

I love Irving too, Cait. I love how involved I get in his stories. And a big HOORAY for The End of the Affair!

[Lashaun]

I am almost finished with Unwind by Neal Shusterman! This book is amazing...slightly creepy, and sick. I'm wowed. My friends who read it before me gave me a spoiler and I should have never let them do it! Now I'm hanging off the edge waiting for what they mentioned to happen! The suspense is killing me....

[Marci]

Reading Olive Kitteridge and listening to Her fearful Symmetry. Enjoying both

This was a great book! Definitely was a 5 stars for me! Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

Donna, I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by the shopping in TGWPWF! I hope there's not more in store.

[Brenda]

I am almost finished with In the Land of Second Chances by George Shaffner, I only read this for book club. I have started The Magican by Michael Scott, and I am loving this one.

[Laura]

Just finished Freddy and Fredericka by M. Helprin. Very funny & heartwarming. I quite enjoyed it! Next up, The Dante Club by M. Pearl. peace out! ;)

You have a neighbourhood book..."

We do, and it is awesome. We meet once a month, and pot luck a dinner related to that month's book.

[Eric]

Just tapped into the monstrous new novel by Stephen King, Under the Dome A Novel. I'm excited.

[Shona]

I just got finished with City of Thieves and Skeletons at the Feast. I was kind of on a WWII kick - both books were excellent! Now on to Shutter Island.

[Jennifer]

I'm going to start another Picoult book...Nineteen Minutes

[Jen]

I'm reading Bleak House by Dickens.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I just finished "Eating Animals" by Foer. Those poor animals, my poor appetite!

Im starting on A Day and a Night and a Day A Novel by Glen Ducnan. It's about an american who is a terrorist, caught and tortured by another american. Only a few pages in at the moment.

Jen, I have Bleak House and cant wait to get to it....

[Marti]

I am starting to read the last book that I have right now from the library,The Rituals of the Season and then I need to read for my book club Comfort Food.

Jennifer enjoy 19 Minutes - I had trouble putting it down!!

[Rachel]

Reading Under The Dome by Stephen at home and still working on We Think, Therefore We Are at work.

Thanks!!! I have yet to be disappointed by one of her books.

More in "store"!! HA, good one, did you plan that one or was it awesome all on its own?

And, Janny, that book club sounds so great. And potluck dinner too! I wonder how someone goes about starting something like that...something to think about.

[Jayme]

Finished Persepolis and only one more chapter to go in Under the Volcano. It is soooooooooooooo boring. I wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't for the challenge. Now I don't know what to read...time to head to the library.

[Stephanie]

Just started Interview with the Vampire last night for this month's F2F book club pick. It was supposed to be a Halloween read, but we're a bit behind in our meetings.

[Cammie]

I am reading Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon

[Marti]

Jayme, For a local book club or group first check to see if the local library is running one or the most local bookstore. Out here, our independent book store gives us space and the bookstore allowed the person(s) who were interested to put an ad for two months in the local mailer, they also put up posters and messages all over the place. The book store offers 20% off for buying the book there. We meet over wine, cheese and crackers on Sunday afternoons at 3 and take turns being the host. Hope this is helpful.

I am reading Rituals of the Season by Margaret Moran.

[Jason]

Currently reading:
A Garden of Earthly Delights -- Joyce Carol Oates
Split Infinity -- Piers Anthony

This is the fourth Oates book I've read, and I've loved all of them. The Piers one is not grabbing me quite so much, but it's all right.

[Dorie]

I just finished a rather dark and harrowing book, so I'm chosing to start The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin, because it looks to be a fun read. I really need something light.

[Brenda]

Please comment here how you liked or did not like this book. I have it on my TBR pile and hope to read it before the end of the year.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

I'm currently reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being and loving it so far!

Thanks Marti, totally helpful!

[Ann from S.C.]

I just finished IN THE TIME OF TEH BUTTERFLIES by Julia Alvarez. It was fantastic, a 5 star read!

[Ria]

I'm in the middle of Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice. It's fantastic - her other two vampire novels I've read so far (I only just got into her stuff) are INCREDIBLY better than Twilight. Why are people so obsessed with it? Bleeegh. :P

I've always been more partial to the Vampire Chronicles. Queen of The Damned is my favorite, the movie is bad though.

[Lauren]

I just finished Parable Of The Sower by Octavia E. Butler! I am going to start A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens! The copy I have is an antique though so I am also starting THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Ray Bradbury so that I have a book to take to work with me!

[Tracy]

I am doing a re-read of Watership Down. It's been such a long time since I read this and I loved it then. I'd forgotten how dangerous a rabbit's life can be! lol

[Ana]

I finished "The Hobbit", by Tolkien (loved it) and started today "The last song", by Nicholas Sparks

[Lori, Super Mod]

Dorie, I think you will like this. It took me a bit to get into, but once I did, it was quite humorous!

[Dorie]

Lori, I started it last night and am enjoying it. I think it's just what I need right now.

[Jason]

I've never read it, don't know a thing about it, but a book called The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse must be worth a read. Very cool title.

[Maicie]

Finished The Boy Next Door A Novel by Sabatini. 5 stars! Finished Shutter Island by Lehane. Also a great read.

Started Under the Dome A Novel. I was saving it for a cruise we are going on next week but didn't realize the book was so HUGE - a whopping 3.5 pounds. The way the airlines are charging for extra weight, I decided to read the book now so I would have room for a souvenir or two.

[Claire]

I am just not getting into Firefly Lane so I'm going to pick up something else when I get home this evening from work. Maybe The Heretics Daughter or a Margaret Atwood (Blind Assassin).

[Lindz]

Go for Blind Assassin, it's v good!

Shona, I've requested both of these books from the library, so thank you! Not only do they both seem interesting they will both help me reach my goal in the AtWi 80 books challenge. Also, I haven't read anything by Chris Bohjalian in a while and I'm looking forward to a new read from this author.

I am currently reading The Code of the Woosters.

[Claire]

Thanks for the suggestion! That one is at the top of my list!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Considering Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield.

[Mary]

Well, apparently I would rather watch Speeders than keep reading Hollister House Legend of the Banyan Tree. since that's what I'm doing right now! I'm about halfway through and don't know if I'm gonna finish. It's awkwardly written, sort of juvenile, and just not very interesting. I hate giving up but I've got so many other books in my TBR pile that I'd rather be reading....

[Shayla]

I'm currently almost finished with Gone with the Wind. I'm torn between reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle or Songs of the Humpback Whale when I'm done with it.
